"J"hc Country .Dootof?
Warmly Mngnziuo.
For a compressed buudlo of good
linrd sense, over.-ttied patience, ne
cessitated economy, bluo pills and an'
ability to diagnose a case within a
day or so, commeud us to that disci
ple of JEeculapius who worms his
>vsj> through thick and thin under a
high-crowned hat and the euphonious
appellation of a "country doctor."
Far be it from my purpose to ridicule
him ; he, of all others, needs my leu
derest sympathies and my biggest
fees. But he has passed before me,
and the temptation to photograph
him is too strong, and here he is, in
all his lights, just as he is seeu every
day in the village.
Nalurc-^that freakish old dame?
never thought enough of this speci
men of the genus homo to smile upon
him. She always managed to put an
ugly face on an ugly form, and dub
that unfortunate creature "country
doctor." It may have been that
Dame Nature gave him bis ngliucss
for a qualification of bis calling. If
so, mothers have taken advantage of
it, aud many a poor child has been
cured-seemingly cured-by the
threatened visit of the ugly doctor.
Little Tabitha Brown, the freckle
faced daughter of old Brown, who
counts his wealth by thousands, takes
measles. Of course they wait until
way in the night, when honest folk
are in bed, before they conclude to
send for the doctor. And the night
happens to be a bad one?dark,
rainy or otherwise bad?and the doc
tor, tired out by riding all over the
countiy on a rickety old horse, has
to leave his warm place in the bed,
put on his clothes and that awful
looking neck-tic, hunt up his slick,
and plod on his way several miles to
see little Tabitha. He is put out,
any how, and old Lady Brown de
clares lie is the ^'slowest, pokiest"
thing she ever saw. The pulse is
felt, a dozen questions asked, and
then the saddle-bags, in whose capa
cious pockets vials of calomel, qui
nine, and opodeldoc have nestled
for ages, are opened. A dose is
measured, directions given, and the
stiff-booed doctor plows his way
through mud or snow to home, to be
aroused again by Tommy's father.
Now Tommy had swallowed a fish
bone, and was cutting up all sorts of
unties about it.
Again our worn-out friend tramps
it for a few more miles, to relieve
'Pommy's trachea and the parent's
distress. And so it is: one continu
al round of tramps and physic from
day in to night out.
It generally takes our friend of the
pill aud "pizen" a month or so to
make up his mind to present his bills
to old Brown and the numerous oth
ers whose children and selves had re
quired the doctor's skill and trouble.
I say he has to present these hi.Is,
for old Brown and the others would
as soon think of dying as to pay the
doctor before.
It always happens that some poor,
misguided youth, whose ambition has
pushed him into the doctor's office,
there to search for medical lore, finds
it to. be his duly?arduous though it
is?to carry these formidable bundles
of itemized accounts ; but the ambi
tious youth never collects anything.
He can sit down after one of his
bootless tramps and relate to the
doctor the excuses of his patients for
an hour at a time. And the doctor
wonders why on earth old Brown and
a score of others can't pay him hie
trifling bills as well as they can buy
ribbons and furbelows and other fix
in's for their trilling daughters. It
is an inexplicable mystery?an un
eolvablo problem?why ?
And why is it? Echo answeis,
"Why?"
Thus he lives. He is a sort of frog,
supposed to livo on nothing and "lind
himself." He is thought nothing of
socially or financially, and is paid
nothing for that which years of
trouble and expense have taught him. 1
Half the old women profess to know
jporo than he does, and they blister
with dog-fennel, plaster with poke
berry leaves and sweot-gum salve,
and their cathartics, diuretics, and
tho lite, aye manufactured from all
sorts of "yorbs" and roots, and they ,
go about advising this and recom
mending that until the wholo country
\a surfeited and made gloriously sick,
and the poor unfortunate doctor has (
t-o go around to repair '/lie damage
without tho least expectation of a ]
cent for hie services.
Arid now we leave hira. Wo see
him on that rickety old horse jogging
along to physic somebody, and wo
can tell by the expression upon his
weather-worn face that he doesn't ex
pect a ceut for his trouble.

How the Chinese Seoure ja Pa?tor.
February 4th, is the day on which
the Chinese select one of their num
ber to preside over their Joss houses.
The discharge of fire-works consti
tutes an important factor in the day's
observance. The manner of proceed
ing is as follows : The two compa
nies here are permitted to have each
a certain number of representatives,
and the fleetest and strongest men
are generally chosen. These dele
gates repair to a vacaut lot at the
rear of the Joss house. A stipulated
number of bombs, each one contain
ing a metallic ling, are placed in
charge of a committee lb fire off these
bombs one at a time. When the ex
plosion takes place, the ring contain
ed in the bomb is sent Hying in the
air. It is the desire of the two fac
tions to have their respective dele
gates Becurc as mauy of them as pos
sible. When the ring drops, there
is a general scramble on the part of
ull duly authorized to obtain posses
sion of it. After the bombs have all
been lired the two companies compare
notes, and the side having the larger
number of rings is entitled to elect a
Joss (equivalent to a minister of the
gospul with us) from among their
number.
Chins.
The retreating chin is indicative of
the want of attachment, and but little
ardor in love.
The chin in its length and breadth
indicates self-control, self-will, reso
lution, decision, etc.
A narrow, square chin indicates
the desire for love, and is more com
mon among women.
The broad, square chin indicates
ardent love, combined with great
steadfastness and permanence of af
fection.
' Carnivorous animals have the up
per jaw projecting, while those of the
gramnivorous nature have the lower
jaw projecting.
In man with a projecting upper jaw
will be found large destructivencss
and love of animal food; when the
lower jaw projects then the love foi
vegetable food.
A pointed or u round chin indicates
a congenial love. A person with
such a chin will have a "beau ideal"
and will not be sati?lied with real
men or women.
The indented cnin indicates a great
desire to be loved ; a hunger and
thirst lor afiection. When largo in
woman she may overstep the bounds
of etiquette and may make love to
one that pleases her.
A Dog Drowned by a Coon.
On Tuesday last a very valuable
dog belonging to Mr. White, of Sau
vie'a Island, while strolling around
through the limber laud near the
slough, came upon a coon's trail, and
followed it to the animal's hiding
place. After considerable digging
and barking, the coon was routed
and took to the water, and after it
went the dog. The fight was a life
and death struggle, but the coon wa6
too cunning. As the dog approached
him he seized him by the nose and
sank beneath the surface, pulling the
dug's head under the water. '1 lie
process was repeated until the dog
was drowned, and his coonahip swam
to shore and disappeared uninjured.

A Shoulder Lick.
Tho Spring Held Republican is a
model paper in more ways than one.
While far from being Democratic,
and, if anything, orthodoxically Rad
; cal, in the least offensive sense of that
I much abused word, it is, above all
I olse, a lover of truth, a atrivcr after
i justice, and the quintessence of true
iudepeudence. Wo cull from its cdi
rorial columns the following para
graph, which completely demolishes,
in short order and most cifectunlly,
the monstrous slanders of u gigantic
sham. It says: "The New York
Tribune is reprinting and apparently
endorsing, Republican campaign doc
uments, which follow tho argument
that the Democrats must be in a ma
jority in Congress wickedly, because
the States they represent pay' less
tuxes than the Republican States.
The statement is not true, as the sta
tistician attributes most of the cus
tom's revenue to Republican States,
whereas two-thirds of it is collected
in the Democratic Slate ok New
York. In the second place, where
revenue is collected is of small con
sequence, since it is really paid by
the consumers of articles taxed and
not by those who hand it to Ihe col
lcclor. Finally, political representa
tion is not proportioned by Federal
taxation at all. If it were, some
j Northern Stales which havo euBloin
houses and distil no whiskey would
be totally unrepresented in Congress.
These arc very primary truths in
American politics, and ought to be
known to every school boy. It is
peculiarly discouraging to see lying
assumptions to the contrary paraded
before the people in a prominent
journal, which is also laboring to iu
struct the common mind by articles
on the A. 13. C. of Finance."
The Paper-Borrowing Fiend.
A lady whose patience has been sore
ly tried by the class of people who al
ways borrow the weekly local paper
instead of buying one makes following
plaint to a contemporary : "Which I
wish to remark, and my language la
plain, at least Peter says it is, and
he ought to know. Peter is my hus
band, dear editors! 1 want to ask a
qucston. Cannot something be done
to suppress Um terrible nuisance, the
newspaper borrower? Here is a field
for the philanthropist; a Held ripe for
the harvest, and one in which no man
has worked. Humanitarians go about
the streets looking up harrowing
objects of sympathy among the dogs
and horses, and I dare say many ci
them borrow the newspaper from
which they read the account of their
prowess. Cannot a society be organ
ized for the protection of publishers
and subscribers against Ihe ubiquit
ous and iniquitous creature?

to lot down the wiudow, and says

himself still deeper in his paper.

Lutheran Reformation.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat.:
There are three dates conueolcd
with the Reformation ofthe Sixteenth
Century which will over bo held in
sacred memory by all, Christendom,
and to which wo pojiit with commen
dable pride, because they mark those
important acts which led to all roligi
ous liberty and in a great measure to
tlte liberty of nations. These arc, the
31st of October, 1517, when Dr.
Luther nailed the memorable ninety
live theses to the church door in Wit
tenburg, tho 2.7th of April, 152!?,
when fourteen imperial cities drew up
and signed a solemn protest against
the infamous decrees'of the Romish
heirarchy and which led to our being
called Protestants, and, lost, the 25th
of June, 1530, when tb.o grand old
Augsburg Confession, which has be
come the basis of all Evangelical
Confessions of Faith, was read aud
delivered to tho Emperor, Charles
the Fifth, at the diet ^pf Augsburg.
Around this trio of dates cluster all
the grand evcnls and . achievements
of the Reformation, ami arc, there
fore, justly memorable.
When our minds wander back to
the Dark Ages, during which, for up
wards of a thousand years, the shad
ows of ignorance, superstition and
religous death hung over our world,
and then come back to all the happy
memories of the past 862 years, tor
gcther with the blessed gospel light
and liberty of to-day/wo exult in
holy joy, aud glory in The fact that
"The word of God is ?not bound."
The word 11??formation calls up the
trials, faith and work of our fathers,
and stimulates to deeds of benevo
lence?of heroic effort in the Mas
ter's cause. And he in whose heart
is awakened no feelings ol faith, rev
erence, love, and of holy ambition
to press on in the path 'marked out by
our fathers, and who docB not glory
in tho cause ofthe Refo mation, must
bo ignorant of one of LiO most thril
lingly interesting parts/jf the world's
history, and in aou-.cjjj^sure dead to
tho Bacred memories 'of the past.
The scenes and incidents of the Re
formation arc eo interesting and im
portant, and fraught with so much
good to. the church and the world,
that all should interest themselves in
the attainment and dissemination of
a knowledge of the history of those
eventful days?days which would have
tried aud done honor to the faith of
prophets and apostles?to the mar
tyrs and heroes of the oldeu limes.
In the interest of such information
the 3G2 anniversary of tho Lutheran
Reformation will he celebrated at the
St. Matthews Lutheran Church in
this county, on the first Sunday in
November, when the Rev. Dr. Haw

of our State, will be present. The

A Beautiful Extraot.
The glory of summer has gone by
?the beautiful greenness has become
withered and dead. Were this all?
were there no associations of moral
desolation?of faded hopes?of hearls
withering in the bosoms of the living
?connected with the decaying scene
ry around us, we would Dot indulge
in a momcnto melancholy. The sea
sons of flowers will come again?the
streams will flow gracefully as before
?the trees will again toss their cum
brous heads of greenness to the wind
ing rivulet, the coining blossoms will
start up at the bidding of the guar
dian. Hut the human heart has no
change like that of nature. It has
no returning to spring time. Once
blighted in its hour of freshness, it
bears forever the innrk of tho spoiler.
The dews of utTocliou may fall, and
tho gentle rain of sympathy bo lav
ished upon it?but the stone of blight
ed feeling will uever again awaken
into life?nor the crushed flowers of
hope blossom with wonted beauty.

Fbrhaps there nie few less hnppy
than those who are ambitious -without

will not run the race; thirst for
truth, but aro.lgp slothful to draw it

A great mind is like an elephant in

about bo is the deadliest foe and treads
his master underneath his feel.
One who is injured ought not to
return injury as the multitude .think,
for ou no account can it bo right to
do injustice. Therefore it is not
right to return an injury, or to do
evil to any mau, however we may
have suffered from him.
It is a hard thing to say, and many
an ardent temperament may be damp
ened by it, but it is nevertheless true,
that it is more honorable to make a
good pair of shoes thau to write a
poor poem. If this fact could be em
phasized some wiople would drop the
pen and take up the awl, and the
world would be better for the change.
Modest}* is a somewhat rare virtue,
and yet it is a dangerous thing to
pretend to possess qualities or abili
ties which you never had. The ad
vice which Jerrold ouc day gave to a

also. It was: "Young man, be ad
vised by me; don't take down the
shutters until there is something in

A Lie.
The Indianapolis Journal says:
"The solid South is built on a foun
dation of intolerance, persecution,
fraud, assassination and murder."
To this speciman lie the Washington
Post replies as follows; "It is. In
tolerance developed toward it and its
people by tho ruling class in the
North filter it hud been forced back
into the Union, which it wished to
i leave ; persecution by the Republican
' carpet-baggers sent by tho North to
seize the reins of powor in its various
State government and tyrannize over
the citizens; frauds committed on
1 the sacred rights of the ballot-box
within its borders, by and in the in
terest of those samo ?Radical hell
hounds, that grand result of which
we see in the piesencc in tho White
House of fraudulent President; as
sassination and murder of Constitu
tional prerogative of Slate sove
reignty and local self-government by
Federal troops ordered to the work
by a Republican President."
A Slow Movement.
It is reported on good authority, says
a Washington special, that the recent
movement instituted in that city
to reorganize the Repuplican party
in the South has panned out so badly
that several of those engaged in it
have concluded that it would bca|
prudent thing to withdraw. Among
them arc said to bp ono or more
oflicc-holders. It is understood that
the Secretary of the Treasury became
satisfied that the material participa
ing in the movement was not exactly
tho kiud to work up the Sherman
boom, and has been moved to disown
affiliation with it.
The following was evidently utter
ed by a true farmer: "The country
home can be made very pleasaut by
fixing up the yards and houses more
than they aro. Farmers should be
without debts, aud then they caii
make farm life very pleasant. The
farmer should read and study several
hours every day. He should have
good laborers, and have them under
stand that his interest is theirs.
Plenty of reading matter should be
kept on hand nt all times. Instead
of straight lines around tho place de
vote more space to landscape garden
ing. The keeping of good stock will
always add to tho pleasure of farm
ing. Farmers should get out, and
interchange views with each other."

Hon. Horatio Seymour.
He has been interviewed by a re-]
porter of the New York World in re
gard to the Presidency, but unlike
Gen. Grant, on the Republican side,
the old Democratic veteran says : "I
havo a horror of a scu?lo for power
or place around the edges of the
grave; should feel like one of the
figures in Holbori's dauce of death."
Of course Mr. Seymour's friends'
would be glad to see him nominated,
and in all propability he would show
in the race more strength then any
other New Yorker, but in addition to
his feeblo hoalth, he would have to
hear upon his shoulders the weight
every defeated candidate bears. This
of itself would likely influences num
ber of delegates to the National Con
vention, and cause them to throw
their voles in favor of another. Mr.
Seymour has always been admired by
a largo portion of the Southern De
mocracy, but ut present we do not
think the majority cof tho Southern
States would prefer him. His honest
und frank expressions though, when
interviewed by this reporter of the
World, leaves little room for his
name to be placed before the nomina
ting body when it assembles. Wheth
er in public or in private life, Hora
tio Seymour, of New York, will al
ways remain in possession of the con
fidence and respect of a large por
tion of this Union, and when life
ceases to exist the loss of an honest

A Practical Lesson.
A young man stood listlessly
watching some anglers on a river
bridge. He was poor and dejected.
At last, approaching a basket filled
with wholesome-looking fish, he sigh
ed :
"If now I had these I would be
happy. I could sell them at a fair
price and buy me food and lodging."
"I will give you just as many and
as good fish," said tho owner, who
had chanced to overhear words,
"if you will do me a trifling favor."
"What is it?" asked the other.
"Only to tend tips line till I come
I back; I wish to go on a short cr
I rand."
I The proposal was gladly accepted.
The old mail was gone so long that
the young man began to get imputi
pnt. Meanwhile [ho hungry fish
snapped grpedily qt the baited hook,
and tho young map lost all his de
pression in tho excitement of pulling
them in ; and when the owner of the
line returned he had caught a large
i number. Coupling out from them as
many as were in the basket, and pre
senting them to the young man, the
old fisherman said:
j "1 fulfill my promise from the fish
t you have caught to teach you when
ever you sec others earning what you
need, to waste no time in fruitless
wishing, but to cast a line for your
self."

An K.nglish statute for the preven
tion of crime provides that a convict
on boing released from prison, be
fore his time expires, shall take out
license which compels him to report
every month at the neatest polico sta
tion his address and mode of life.
Failing to do this, his license is re
voked, and he is. sent back to prison.
We wish wo bad such a. good law as
this in South Carolina, for it is a no

The Broken Hearted.
About ten years ago, I took up
my residence for n few weeks in a
country village in the eastern part of
New Englund. Soon after my nrriw
al, I becamo acquainted with a young
lady, apparently about 18 yca*a o/
age. She bad lost the idol of bar
heart's purest Iovo, and the shadows
of deep and holy memories were rest
ing lik.e the wing of death upon h?f
brow.
1 first met her in the presence of
the mirthful. She was, Indeed, .a
creature to be admired ; her brow wxts
garlanded by the young year's sweet
est- flowers, and her black tresses
were hanging beautifully and low
upon her bosom; sum I she moved
through the crowd with such floating
unearthly grace, that the bewildered
gazer looked almost to sec her fade
away into the air, like the creation of
a pleasant dream. She seemed cheer
ful, and even gay ; yet I saw her
gaiety was but the mockery of her j
feelings. She smiled, but there was
something in her which told me that
its mournful beauty was but J.h.0 ,
bright reflection of a tear; and he
jeyeiids at times pressed heavily
down, as struggling to reprfis the
lide of agony that was burs ling up
from her heart's secret urn. She
looked as if she could have left" ihe
scene of festivity, and gone out, be
neath the quiet stars, and laid her.
forehead down upon the fresh green .
earth, and pour out horstiicken soul,
gush after gush, till it mingled, with
the eternal fouutain of purity and
life.
I have lately heard that the young
lady of whom I have spoken, is dead.
Tbc close of hor life was as calm aa
tho falling of a quiet stream; gentlo
as the sinking of the breeze, that lin
gers for a lime round a bed of withered
roses, and then dies from very sweetn

that the high and glorious aspirations,
which leap like angels from the tem

lhat the rainbow and cloud come
over us wilh a beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass off and leave us
lo muse on their faded loveliness?
Why is it that the stars which hold
their festival around the midnight
throne, are set above the grasp of
our limited faculties, forever mock

glory? And finally, why is it that
bright forms of human beaoty are
preseuted to the view, and then taken
from us, leaving the thousand
streams ol the affections to flow back
in Alpine torrents upon our hearts?
We are born for a higher destiny
than that of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades;
